Most 1500 m races these days are run at a fast even pace, so basic speed is important as is strength and stamina to maintain the pace throughout the race.  2, record 1, English, - basic%20speed

Reliance on strength can be a curse as well as a blessing. I’ve noticed that many excellent cross country runners who rely on strength disappear during the track season, either because they lack the basic speed, or because that speed hasn’t been developed properly. In cross-country, it's easy for a runner to use mileage-built strength to be successful without working on speed. To put it simply, mileage can work in cross country, but speed is the most critical component in track racing.  3, record 1, English, - basic%20speed

Entraînement Course à pied. Il n'y a pas d'entraînement spécifique pour la course à pied [autre] qu'un entraînement de course à pied! Tous les exercices de course à pied sont valables. On peut cependant privilégier une dominance de course au train à des séances de piste. La piste peut être utile pour travailler sa vitesse de base, la course au train, de préférence hors bitume, permet de régler sa vitesse et de travailler un effort soutenu sur une grande distance.  2, record 1, French, - vitesse%20de%20base

"The Wall." It evades easy definition, but to borrow from Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous definition of obscenity, you know it when you see it - or rather, hit it. It usually happens around mile 20, give or take a couple of miles. Your pace slows, sometimes considerably. Some runners say that it feels as though their legs had been filled with lead quail shot ... Others can’t feel their feet at all. Thought processes become a little fuzzy ... Muscle coordination goes out the window, and self-doubt casts a deep shadow over the soul. ... Even if you’re racing at a reasonable pace and you’ve done a good job of carboloading in the days before the marathon, you still have only about 2,000 calories worth of glycogen stored in the muscles and liver; that’s about enough to get you to - surprise! - mile 20. If you manage to deplete your glycogen reserves, say hello to The Wall.  3, record 2, English, - wall

It is this depletion of muscle glycogen that sportspeople know as "hitting the wall."  4, record 2, English, - wall

The bad news is that more than half of all nonelite marathon runners report having hit The Wall at least once. The good news is that more than 40 percent of all nonelite marathon runners have never hit The Wall. In other words, while it certainly doesn’t hurt to be prepared for the possibility of hitting The Wall, doing so is far from inevitable.  3, record 2, English, - wall

La soudaineté de la fatigue en course sur route et au marathon en particulier a conduit à l'expression désormais classique : «frapper le mur». [...] En fait, il n'y a pas un mur mais des murs. [...] Le premier est «la panne de glycogène musculaire». Le deuxième est «la panne de glucose sanguin». Le troisième est «le mur de la chaleur».  2, record 2, French, - mur

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Le «mur de la chaleur» guette tous les coureurs si les conditions atmosphériques ne sont pas favorables : c'est-à-dire s'il fait trop chaud, s'il y a trop de soleil ou s'il fait trop humide. Il guette aussi les coureurs qui ne boivent pas suffisamment pendant la course. N'oubliez donc pas de boire.  2, record 2, French, - mur
